Gritty and contemplative in the same breath

Both lean on momentum more than on crime

Gritty action in both cases
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Drama with a pulse of stillness, in both cases
The difference: 22 years apart, and the 2010s show

Crime built on momentum, twice over
The difference: Takes it somewhere less contemplative than Brother does

Gritty drama, and it commits to that

Contemplative action in both cases

Crime with a pulse of momentum, in both cases

Both working the same drama territory

Both keep coming back to the same thing: gangster

Action in the same key
The difference: Sits closer to thriller than Brother does
